Songs have been sung, and beauty pageants and eating contests waged for the finest fruit in the universe, the Hanover tomato. No BLT is legit without one, and no grower trying to pass off a lesser hybrid will be forgiven for that crime. Only the true red gold grown in Hanover soil can make Richmond summers tolerable.

We make sense of the news; pursue those in power; explore the city's arts and culture; open windows on provocative ideas; and help readers know Richmond through its people. We give readers the information to make intelligent decisions.
